Chiado Square, Lisbon
This pavement is by no means the best example of the typical Portuguese cobblestone but the truth is I forgot about theme day until three days ago - thanks, Julie! - and, as I have had no time for a photo tour, this is the only shot I haven't posted that does fit in.

My pleasure, Jose. The response has been quite gratifying. Now to see if we can get people out and visiting others.
Amazing perspective and lighting, truly beautiful!
God bless you!

this will do beautifully.
... and WHAT a shot!
Well I can't wait to see some 'better' examples, this is pretty fine!
You can do a whole series of cobblestones as far as I'm concerned! This is great!
This is amazing - sometimes planning isn't better!
These look like designer cobblestones. Pretty!
This is a FANTASTIC cobblestone photo, JM! Bravo! Such fancy designs - it must have taken a lot of time and the work of a talented artisan!
I think this is a fine example. I love cobblestone, but like you, I didn't have time to get out and find some! At least ours is the real deal. :)
I knew I could jump to my favorite European sites and find photos of the real thing! Good one JM.
it is pretty. and i'd say close enough!
Lisbon is probably one of the best places in the world for this theme day!!!
This is beautiful, JM! I love the shiny, wet cobblestones, the lighting and dark blue sky in the background. Terrific composition as always!

This is much better than the usual cobblestones...
Embora tu aches que não se encaixa na perfeição do tema, a foto está ¨gira¨. Gostei do lugar, como gosto de tudo nesta terra.
WOW< JM! Awesome!
Well done JM, quite an intricate pattern in these cobblestones, excellent image for today's theme.
A beautiful shot as usual from you!
uma foto cheia de luz , uma excelente composicao
abraço do Brazil
Ohhh... this is a fantastic art work!
Wonderful photo too, JM !!
Beautiful and very interesting!
Actually, I think this is the best cobblestone photo I've seen today! the light is beautiful and the subject matter is interesting and it's nice and sharp. The recent rain helps give everything a new and shiny look!
This is beautiful! I love the composition, the lighting, the colors. It's a perfect shot!
I do agree with everyone else. This is a beautiful picture!
Portugal has better cobblestone plazas than this? Wow. This one is gorgeous and your photograph is also gorgeous.
My favorite by far.
That is absolutely stunning.
This is truly an artistic square with a wonderful pattern of stones.
Beautiful night shot with inviting light. You know, look at it another way. and it could be a mural at your feet. Wink.
beautiful pavement indeed !
I love this picture. Not because of the cobblestones (though they are interesting) but because of the way the houses seem to bend and stretch, it almost looks like its right out of an illustration. Awesome.
How truly lovely. I guess I expected to see cobblestones in Portugal but not such ornate patterns.
The stones are extra pretty and shining in the wet night.
Gorgeous shot, Jose!
